FUKBlogger

After a small vacation I notice that in 28 April the page rank of my blogs started to change, the most dramatic change was when the PR of a blog dropped from 4 to 0 and then back to 4, this happened with all my blogs. FUKBlogger.com when from 0 to nothing and in just a couple of hours went up to 3. That PR drop really scared my, but I know that the PR of a blog doesn’t do much for your traffic, you can have a blog with PR0 and still be on the first page on Google.  

I didn’t write anything in the last few days because the recession has affected me. More exactly in March I manage to earn more that $500 and this month I will only get half of that amount since most of the advertising companies have started to give less money to publishers.

When you have a blog that has thousands of viewers every day that made $16 a day in March and $8 a day in April you aren’t very happy, so I had to develop a strategy for the next three months involving all my blogs.

Because of the recession many bloggers will suffer, and this year we could see another dotcom crash, Google, Yahoo and many others big companies will soon report some big loses and I am waiting for that moment to buy some of their stocks.

This isn’t a good year for business, in fact this “recession” is a world depression. But don’t worry until a couple of weeks ago we weren’t in a recession, so the depression will not come very soon.

Predictify.com is a prediction platform, where users get paid to predict the future. You can find many questions but most of them are free and you won’t get paid for answering them this question helps you to boost up your score, and when you answer correctly to a paid question you will make more money.

Predictify is actually a survey engine. Anyone who wants to find out the peoples opinion can ask questions free or paid. The free questions must be approved by the Predictify team first so you won’t promote something without paying. For company’s that need cheap and sincere answers Predictify is the right website for them, Predictify users answer sincerely because they are asked to guess a future events and not to evaluate a product.

Although you can’t make much money because most of the questions are free and there aren’t many paid questions Predictify is a nice website where you can test you’re clairvoyant powers.

Shine is a site for the 40 million women between the ages of 25 and 54 who visit Yahoo every day. Shine is actually a blog that has some limited Yahoo functions.

The blog has ten topics Fashion + Beauty, Healthy Living, Entertainment, Parenting, Love + Sex, Work + Money, Food, At Home, Astrology and Speak Up.

And like any blog Shine get it share of comments full of spam, there where a couple of “I like it, look at this video” but apparently they deleted those comments, but it doesn’t matter some will replace those comments, but I don’t think that the women visiting Shine are interested to buy Viagra.

This year Yahoo has made many upgrades and has launched four new services, is Yahoo trying to get more money from Microsoft’s?

50 Cent has more than 1 million friends on MySpace and decided to start his own social network Thisis50.com.

Thisis50.com is build on the Ning platform, the website isn’t meant to be a fan club, but rather a platform for 50 Cent to showcase his music and the music he likes, and comment on news and user profile pages. Thisis50.com users can create profiles and friend lists, but 50 Cent has direct access to the site’s users and their e-mail addresses.

Chris “Broadway” Romero said “The thing that separates Thisis50 from MySpace is we control the e-mail database. We can e-mail members if we want to.”

Kylie Minogue, Ludacris and Pussycat Dolls have launched their own social networks. Gina Bianchini, CEO of Ning said that artist use MySpace and Facebook as funnels for their social networks.

And it’s relatively inexpensive to create a social network if artists use one of the companies that provide the tools and hosting. Artists also tend to pay for labor to run the sites, but if fans get involved and add things to the site to share with others, it can reduce the need for staff to constantly provide new content.

Kraft Foods has launched a social network promote by Mandy Moore. uPumpItUp is social network for women, where they can find the inspiration they need to complete different challenges.

The site has the four sections connect, express, inspire, and explore, where members can participate in other challenges or can create their own challenges, connect with others members, ask for help and write comments.

uPumpItUp isn’t a true social network, because it doesn’t have all the necessary features and it looks more like a forum.

Mandy Moore is one of the site experts that contributes with comments, tips and challenges. There are four other experts:

Erika Lenkert is your go-to gal for all things social.

Bobbie Thomas shares stylish ways to express your creative side.

Mandy Ingber helps you tune out distractions and tune into yourself.

Cynné Simpson shows you ways to explore the amazing world around you.

Using the uPumpItUp social network Kraft tries to promote a healthier lifestyles through Crystal Light.
